    You can't generalise accents in Ireland or Scotland (or England). Some of them I like, some I don't.
    Spoiler!

    Northern Irish (the Liam Neeson accent) is probably my favourite of the three, so I'll go with Irish. Also a big fan of the east scottish accent, but I can't stand Glaswegian.

    Irish sound very attractive on women, Scottish on the other hand LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

    English, especially PR are the most standard and best accent imo.

    I generally prefer Southern Irish to Northern Irish, and Edinburgh to Glasgow.

    Never met Scot girls yet, so they probably sound attractive to me. Definitely more attractive than multicultural girls, I bet.
